Who is the sore loser here they? Both have potentials, the best players and an impeccable record of winning, enough to be called legends! but why aren't they giving the fans what they want!!!
Don't fret, it's neither a new team in Madrid nor the west London clubside moving to the Spanish capital. It's just me in my spare time comparing Los Blancos (The Whites), Los Galacticos, Los Merengues (The Meringues), Los Vikingos (The Vikings) to the struggling but buoyant Hoops, QPR, Rs, Super Hoops...
From their Nicknames you can tell the difference...
Real is Hispanic on the other hand QPR is totally British..
The former, happen to be current Spanish champions & can boast of some of the best players in the world like Iker Casillas, Pepe, Sergio Ramos, Luka Modric, Xabi Alonso, Sami Khedira, Kaká, Mesut Özil, Angel Di Maria, Gonzalo Higuain, Karim benzema & Cristiano Ronaldo.... and are not doing too bad..but inconsistent results and surprise losses are un-Real Madrid like...
The Latter have the financial resources thanks to their Chairman, Malaysian Businessman, Tony Fernandes..and have players like jibril Cisse, Mbia, Adel Taarabt, Alejandro Faurlin, Andy Johnson ,Bobby Zamora ,Park Ji-Sung, David Hoilett, Jose Bosingwa, Jamie Mackie ,Shaun Wright-Phillips ,Ryan Nelsen ,Shaun Derry ,Nedum Onuoha , Robert Green and Julio Cesar..but are Flopping with Reckless abandon..#NoOffence #ButItsTheTruth they currently sit Bottom of the EPL and that's not good for business especially when it comes to attracting players to Loftus Road,*even their manager admits this*...their Recent acquisition of Loic Remy *whom they 'stole' from Newcastle United's grasp by the way* was as a result of Tony Fernandes convincing the french Striker over a game of FIFA 13...
Managers: Real Madrid's José Mourinho needs no introduction, former FC Porto, Chelsea and Inter Handler is reputed for being successful at every club he takes charge of...
He won the former UEFA cup in 2003 with FC Porto, won the UEFA Champions league in 2004 with FC Porto..with domestic success as well.. Roman Abramovich immediately snapped him up after his success at Porto...I think we all know what he did at Chelsea..back to back premier league titles..Champions league semi final appearances in 2005 & 2007 only to be stopped by Liverpool FC in both semi finals...
2008 'The Special One' *as he called himself in his first press conference in England* became the coach of Internazionale de Milano, INTER MILAN...the highlight of his time as manager of Inter was in 2010 when he won the scudetto, the copa Italia and The Champions League in the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, home ground of Real Madrid..which was gonna be his next destination..
His First season in charge saw Real win the Copa del Rey in a fiercely contested final against perennial arch-enemies, FC Barcelona...last season, Real got the better of Barcelona in La Liga..beating them to the domestic title....
This season has been filled with a lot of ups & downs, with new arrivals Luka Modric & Michael Essien blowing hot and cold...
QPR's Harry Redknapp described in one word "Legendary".
As Bournemouth manager from 1983-1992 he won the Football League Division Three: 1986-87 Football League Trophy: 1984...
He's Famous for discovering players like Rio Ferdinand, Joe Cole, Michael Carrick and his nephew, Frank Lampard..The signings of Stuart Pearce, Paolo Di Canio and Trevor Sinclair helped them reestablish their careers having been signed by Redknapp during his spell at
West Ham United from August 1994 to August 2001...He was appointed director of football at Portsmouth FC, he replaced Graham Rix as manager and gained promotion to the premier league....in the 2003/2004 season, he kept Portsmouth FC in the premier league, but after several disagreements with Portsmouth owner at the time,Milan Mandaric, Harry resigned as 'Pompey' manager in November 2004...
Few weeks after his departure From Portsmouth, he was appointed manager of their fierce local rivals, Southampton..this infuriated most 'Pompey' fans...at The Stadium Of Light, he was tasked with keeping Southampton in the Premier League - a similar task to the one he was facing with Portsmouth..He wasn't successful this time around...Redknapp remained in charge for the 2005-06 Championship season but was unable to establish consistency needed to make Southampton promotion contenders, he resigned in december 2005..He soon returned to his (according to him) "Spiritual Home", Portsmouth FC..
"...Redknapp returned to Portsmouth on 7 December 2005 with the club threatened by relegation to the Championship, although not in the relegation zone. At first it looked like Redknapp would be heading for a second successive relegation, but a fine run of form at the end of the season, aided by the takeover of Portsmouth by Alexandre Gaydamak (which provided Redknapp with more money), ensured Portsmouth's survival. In the following season, Redknapp led Portsmouth to a ninth placed finish which was the club's highest league finish since the 1950s....On 8th March 2008, he led Portsmouth to an FA Cup quarter final victory over Manchester United, completing a hat-trick of FA Cup wins over Manchester United, and followed this with a semi-final victory over West Bromwich Albion at Wembley Stadium..." - wikipedia.
Portsmouth eventually won The FA cup Final against Cardiff thanks to 'king' Kanu Nwankwo's winning goal.....
In October 2008 Harry Redknapp was announced as the new manager of Tottenham Hotspur....he took Spurs from the Bottom of the league to the Carling Cup final, which they lost on penalties to Manchester United. Spurs eventually finished in eighth position with 51 points, narrowly missing out on a Europa League place....the next season (2009/2010) was Spurs' best Premier league season till date, they finished 4th & qualified for the Champions League....2010/2011 season was a good season for the team especially in the Champions League After a surprising run to the quarter-finals, they were knocked out in April 2011, after a 5-0 aggregate defeat to Real Madrid but finished 5th....the next season they played in the Europa League..
Despite leading Tottenham to their second fourth-placed finish in three years in the 2011/2012 season, spurs missed out on Champions League qualification due to Chelsea's Champions League Triumph in Munich..he was sacked on the 13th of June 2012..
Harry Redknapp was appointed manager of Queens Park Rangers on the 24th of November 2012, replacing Mark Hughes whose contract had expired the day before...
His QPR adventure has been filled with a lot of disappointing results but the shocker came against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, where they recorded an unprecedented 1-0 victory..
But QPR's still languishing in the bottom of the Premier League Table...but this is a familiar terrain for Harry Redknapp...the season is far from over, so let's just keep our fingers crossed..c'mon this is football, where the best miracles happen...
So best of Luck to the Fumbling Rs and the inconsistent Los Blancos (The whites)...
